Summary

“Everyone keeps asking me for something,” she said softly, dropping to her knees in front of him. “Save Ferelden. Save the Arl. Save the Urn of Sacred Ashes. Save this town. That dog. Some sword I know nothing nor care about.” She leaned forward and rested her hands on his. “No one asks if I need to be saved. If my nightmares overwhelm me long into the first strands of sunrise. If my worry for everything, everyone, threatens to consume me. No one offers me any kind of respite.”

Her hand was warm on top of his, a presence, a weight he felt to the very soles of his boots. He looked at her and decided whatever she wanted, he would give her.

“And now,” she said even more quietly, “you’re the only person asking if I’m okay. You’ve been with us what...two weeks? And you’ve seen more in me, about me, than anyone else.” She pulled her left hand away from his and reached up. Her fingers traced the glass-sharp edge of his cheekbone, a feathery touch that made his hair stand on end. “But I'm not looking for love, Zevran.”
